The 7afe, in my opinon doesn't create optimal power at low rpms. With a turbo this is where you wouldn't have the power.
My 7a blew around the mileage mark that yours has. All that was done to mine was headers and a CAI. My first and current transportation is a 1990 BMW 325i. Straight six that puts out around 200 hp, maybe more I have forgotten the exact numbers. My point is this..When I got my celica, which is now my fourth vehicle and 2nd car (I had two SUVS that met their demise..I'll never drive another) I felt like it had no power atleast compared to my BMW. So whatever horsepower you feel you can handle, go with that. Just realize the 7a has less (even with a turbo) than a 3s. |
